I have always wanted a log cabin with forged fittings, hinges and decorations. Sorta like something out of the early 1800s. These would fit in perfectly.
Love watching your process. Even though I don't work with metal (woodworker) I am learning some tips on how to work on my projects. Love your content. Keep the forge lit.
Timothy when you mentioned it looked like a valve, I was thinking the exact same thing lol. Anybody can make things by forging, but it takes talent to forge these things that are optically correct….appealing to the eye and soul. You seem to have God given talents that most folks are “found wanting or lacking”in that area. Nice workmanship my friend 👌🙂 And I’m happy for you that you have something your so passionate about. I believe your living within the gifts God has given you👍 Most never find what they’re looking for😐
Im sorry, but i think its unfair to claim that it is "God given" talent. It is straight up hard work and experience. Calling it God given takes away from the years of hard work he has put in to hone his craft. While i agree that there are cases with some people where it seems to be more "God given talent", but in Tims case, i would say it is a more accurate statement to call it, God given "Passion"
there's something so satisfying about well designed tooling and processes, the tooling up for the axe runs have been some of my favorite videos too, at least as an engineer (:
You need to hang a bunch more of the hooks up in your shop. Probably be surprised how many items would magically want to be off of the floor hanging on a hook.
Excellent, remind me of a project I did a while ago. They were drawer knobs forged pretty much exactly like that. Found that it was easiest to just start with material that has the dimensions of the pin (12mm round in my case) and figure out how much stickout from the die you need to get the knob end to the desired size as you upset it. Welded a handle on the die for easier manipulation. Quick one-heat drawer knobs.
Just bought mine and I can’t wait to get it, I’m not sure if I’ll actually use it for what you made it for, but I enjoy your content and this looked like something I wanted haha.
I do not quite get the exitement, but you got me curious - how was the first design hooks supposed to be mounted to a wall?? I have never seen that shape on the back of something, that should be wall mounted. Please explain. Keep up the good work 👍👍
I have purchased as my retirement workshop a building built in 1902 as a commercial stable. The hooks will go perfectly with the look of this building as I'm trying to keep it 'period' in style. When will the hooks be available for sale? I'd like four...
I'm no blacksmith 🙂 I was thinking about your process around 8 minutes into the video. You are using a much bigger round stock and then thinning it down and making the end even bigger. Wouldn't it save time if you had a round hole that fix the correct size round stock into and then just flatten the end with the power hammer? The hook end wouldn't be heated up and just stay it's shape inside the "mold".
I have no idea why UA-cam recommended this nor do I know anything about blacksmithing, but seeing your passion brings a smile to my face!! Also love the design! Super rounded and satisfying looking :D
Man Timothy you aughtaa get yourself an induction heater. You could heat up those small round pieces and bend them so much faster than the regular forge and you wouldn't have to waste your oxy acetylene.
Hi Tim where did you get your acorn table I started blacksmithing about a year ago and I'm curious how much an acorn table cost and where I may find one?
I have always wanted a log cabin with forged fittings, hinges and decorations. Sorta like something out of the early 1800s. These would fit in perfectly.
Love them Tim, and I agree there is something very satisfying with a die forging/swaged forging like that!!
It's awesome to see a thought become reality ! You do it so well, Timothy !
That's great, they looked good at first but once you got them mounted up on the wall I thought they looked fantastic, nice job!
The "look" of those hooks are perfect for a workshop like yours. Beauty!

The hooks look great Tim. Like all new pieces the first few are hit or miss till you refine the process. Again they look great.

I like your aesthetic. Simple but kinda blunt and chunky. Nice departure from a lot of square stock architectural blacksmith hooks

The most badass hooks ever made
Nice to have you back !!!
Simple but elegant.

Hey Tim! Good to see yah!..
Thats very cool. I would love to see some with earth magnet on the back
cool Design. Well done.
Really cool hooks Tim
Very cool
Looks great
Army
SE Oregon
I like that hook a lot!
Captain Hook, your hooks hook!
There are very nice. I hope they can pay for themselves and you!
You can also try a tumble finish. Super easy to make (tumbler) and easy to run
Really cool Product!
Perhaps, if you put a twist in the metal, it would make it more interesting? A little detail bulb at the end?
Keep the forge Lit. Forge On. God Bless.
Love the hooks!!
I like them. If I had the need for some or even a good place for them...
Real nice hook!
Looks like a giant CPU pin before you bent it
Yeees! I knew it reminded me of something, that’s totally it!
Leave the extra material on the base but turn a step into the die so the base comes out with a two diameter step in it
I rlly rlly rlly love the look and shape of that. Very nice work
Yeah looks good!
Looks sweet Tim! Gonna try and snag a candle
Awesome work Tim, like always!
I like it
The process is indeed very cool, plus i like the shapes. Mine are never centered when i forge them for rivets XD
Please make more hooks. I missed the drop.
Take two 1up 1down make the eyes.Gate hinges!!!

Keep up the good work 👍👍
Kickass
Been waiting on this 💪. Those hooks are awesome 👍🏻
What about putting a really strong magnet on the back so you can move it if you want to
would be very interested in buying a couple
We all wanna see some axe heads forged in fire! 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Link to hooks is now in the description, better hurry
Loved seeing the design process on this one. Did you have any sketches beforehand or just in your head?
I'm no blacksmith 🙂 I was thinking about your process around 8 minutes into the video. You are using a much bigger round stock and then thinning it down and making the end even bigger. Wouldn't it save time if you had a round hole that fix the correct size round stock into and then just flatten the end with the power hammer?

yay!

What i think? Send me one.
im the first to comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should look at him build a lighter or some of his other builds. He does some delicate stuff as well as heavy duty stuff like these.
It's awesome to see a thought become reality ! You do it so well, Timothy !
Gotta say, I’m stoked you’re not just making knives. Cool to see something else get made, for once.
Man Timothy you aughtaa get yourself an induction heater. You could heat up those small round pieces and bend them so much faster than the regular forge and you wouldn't have to waste your oxy acetylene.
Now you can make custom engine cylinder valves
Hi Tim where did you get your acorn table I
started blacksmithing about a year ago and
I'm curious how much an acorn table cost and
where I may find one?
Very nice! I really like the raw forged finish 👍 I can’t believe you didn’t do a pull-up off the hooks to test them!
Wouldn’t the drill and tap take pretty much the same amount of time as that back end? Or do the extra heats really take that much more time?
I think the time might be similar but the cost of the fuel is additional to the time.
Those came out great! I liked seeing the iterative process to improve efficiency.
I also resently bought a power hamer and im curently buying a press.
That's super cool always liked rough, sorta industrial/farm equipment style stuff.
😲 Tim where's you're "makers mark"... stamped and numbered 😉 not quite a tomahawk hatchet or axe but crafted by you👍
Those hooks look great!! I challenge anyone to find a hook of that quality in ANY hight street store. 👍👍👍👍👍
I love the hooks! I'm sure I wasn't fast enough, haha. The giveaways drop down just has a password entry.
I think you still some relief across the back side. Just a touch so the outer ring sets flat. You don't want a gap showing because the back is domed.
Love the look, mabe get a tapmatic set up in the drillpress and save your arms if you do batches of a hundred.
actually the first 4.
Thats-aah uuhm it's-aah uuhm uhm okay today ey. Uuhm it's aah uuhn hilarian lol
I need atleast 6 for one project I have going right now.
They are Good looking Clean and Solid Design👌
Are you adding your touch mark on the back?
I do love your passion, thank you for sharing.
NoW that's a real hook Tim , Well done mate. 👍🤠
you’re ideas are good wish you got more views
it,s absolutely prrfect 11:32
Tim…..too cool…..more please! Steve
love the excitement. and the hook!
Dope.
15:29 that hat throw made me laugh!
Very cool. Just ordered one!
1? I need 5 minimum haha
Super awesome!
Love ‘em❤
Cool design! Would be a great application for an induction forge.
finally
Could you fork the hook for hanging guitars?
